I was trying to draw and paint the face of happiness.I wanted it to shine, to speak light — so I filled it with colors that sang. I brushed on gold, pink, and the softest shade of morning blue. I added shimmer to make it glow, a little music to make it dance. I wanted […]

For the next phase of my life, I have decided to do something very simple: Say yes to the things I have been saying no to because of fear and anxiety. For the last two years, I have rarely gone to weekend activities or evening events. I would overthink, feel anxious, find a reason not

We live in a world obsessed with time. We measure productivity by the number of hours we work, the meetings we attend, the emails we answer, and the tasks we complete. Calendars have become our scorecards, and “being busy” is often mistaken for being successful. But over the years, I have begun to wonder whether

It shows up before an important meeting, a critical decision, a public speech, or any situation where we are exposed or doing something for the first time. In those moments, a quiet fear creeps in, often accompanied by anxiety.

I often realise that I don’t fully acknowledge how unusual my mind really is. People see the outer layers — confidence, leadership, decisiveness — but they don’t always see the constant laboratory inside me. My inner world is a place where I run experiments quietly, relentlessly: What if I think differently? What if I unlearn?

If you look at life as a journey, you will never grow bored of it. A journey constantly changes—new views unfold, you pause at countless junctions, some beautiful, some difficult. You meet people, you lose people, and along the way you collect a mosaic of experiences that shape who you become. Life is the most
